This is something i've thought about quite a bit recently. Being a Knick fan magnifies it to the tenth degree. The only thing i can think of is he (in a way) brings it on himself by forcing contact against triple teams. The refs notice that and he has a reputation for it.

Clyde was saying something on one of the broadcasts about how its tough for 'Melo to play gritty on-ball defense, because he doesn't have a reputation for it. Refs won't give him the benefit of the doubt that they might give to a Shane Battier or even Kobe, Lebron, etc. He has to re-imagine himself and the refs have to take notice. He's done a great job so-far, now he needs to see it through. It bodes well that we are solidifying the reputation of a gritty defensive team.

After the Memphis game, 'Melo said he's done harping on the lack of calls. Since then, i've seen him stop complaining to the refs, and pass out of those triple and double teams a heck of a lot more. I don't know if its a change in his on-court morality, or if its the fact that we have better shooters now.. But i like this 'Melo. I can live with a couple bad shots now and again if he does all these other things.

The interesting thing is that his distribution numbers are actually down. He's passing when he should, instead of passing to make it look like he's unselfish. You guys remember how Stephon Marbury would stop dishing after he got his 10 assists..? Yeah..

Adjustments have been great so far. Gotta give props to Woodson here. Let's see how he adjusts tonight also. It should be interesting......

Are people still mentioning what the other teams strengths are? Lmao cut this crap out. We will get out rebounded, bad matchup, etc etc. have some faith! Lol we running things right now. I'm going into EVERY GAME CONFIDENT. With that said, we got this! A little side note: every time Brooklyn lose I chuckle.

Has nothing to do with being confident or not when talking about strengths and weaknesses Thats what a "discussion board " is for.... I am pretty sure all Knick fans are happy the way things are going...BUT...that does not mean we can't improve on some glaring weaknesses

REBOUNDING is definitely a weakness on this team and will come back to haunt us is some games this year!! Points in the paint is another weakness that needs to be improved... Chicago happens to be strong in both so that makes it a tough matchup...is there something wrong with saying that??

We have a ton of advantages over chicago too..PG play will be huge for us..if we shoot well and play solid D we win
